Because then we'll waste Steve Nash. That's really only it, not to mention that the triangle is a notoriously difficult system to learn. MWP still have no idea how it works after 2 seasons, I don't see us being able to adapt it and implement it properly in time for the playoffs even if we did switch over to the triangle.

We haven't ran the triangle in years. Even in Jackson's last couple of seasons, we really only ran a limited version of it, and even then, we only ran it at certain times.

The truth is, the Lakers haven't really run the triangle since the last year Shaq was there.

Also, with this current roster, the triangle wouldn't make sense. Kobe and Gasol fit the triangle well, Dwight and Nash do not fit in the triangle.

Also, there isn't anyone to run it.

Also, it's not really that great of an offense. People only think so because Jackson won so many titles... but look at the players Jackson has had. Do you know why the triangle was invented? It was invented mainly as a way for teams who didn't have any standout players to be able to compete. Back in the day, most teams had one star player and then a bunch of scrubs, so they just ran a trillion isos for the star and everyone else was a screener or a role player. The triangle was invented as a way of compensating for the lack of a star player you could run isos for. When you think about it in those terms, it makes no sense to run it on a team with 4 star players, each of whom is probably good enough to be the star player and scorer on most other teams.
